It's so weird to me that atheists won't even acknowledge that there could be something beyond our perception of reality on this plane of existence

You clearly don't talk to many atheists or know much about atheism.

Also "New Atheism" is a dead movement, not a form of atheism. If anything it's referring to anti-theism, if not the positions of a specific handful of people (e.g., "the four horsemen"). It's not a philosophical term, it was coined by a journalist to refer specifically to those people. Nowadays it's usually used by religionists as another pejorative, along with "internet atheist" and "lacktheist".
